WHAT I DON’T HAVE?

 

What I don’t have is so much.

No problem, You do too.

Look around. Think about it.

The softer chair with the softer bottom ….

I rarely get that chair. Also

the more burnt end cut of the meat loaf -

love that - but never get it.

In my childhood I was never the fastest

or the smartest or having the best bike. 

But I did have a lot of fun:

going to Coney Island

for the Cyclone roller coaster about

ten times in the summer - as well

as the water at Bay 18 with our family

and our neighbors. Learned to body surf.

So I never had it all. I wasn’t God.

And God knows God can’t have it all.

Sorry God. But just continue just being You.
